  Family 
  LYMEXYUD.^. 
  

  

  Only 
  a 
  single 
  species 
  occurs 
  in 
  our 
  fauna, 
  and 
  that 
  is 
  very 
  rare. 
  It 
  is 
  

   brown 
  in 
  color, 
  very 
  long, 
  slender, 
  cylindrical, 
  tapering 
  posteriorly 
  and 
  

   covered 
  with 
  a 
  very 
  fine 
  silky 
  pubescence. 
  The 
  larva 
  is 
  a 
  borer, 
  whitish 
  

   and 
  very 
  slender, 
  and 
  its 
  very 
  small 
  irregular 
  galleries 
  in 
  old 
  oak 
  wood 
  

   are 
  not 
  infrequently 
  seen. 
  The 
  European 
  "L. 
  navale" 
  is 
  very 
  destructive
